"Grandmother-nai-Leylit's Cloth of Winds" - big Birdverse sensawunda, queer families and trans and autistic people, and also carpets (Nebula nominee; Beneath Ceaseless Skies) - I think most people found their way to Birdverse through this story.

"Geometries of Belonging" - a slower, caring story that will linger for a long time, and also autistic, mentally ill, queer, and trans protagonists. This story is explicitly anti-cure. (Beneath Ceaseless Skies). I recommend "Geometries..." to people who especially care about mental illness and autism rep.
